Alice -
"What do you want me to wear for the ceremony?" I asked Lucian while scanning through my wardrobe.
"Anything easy to remove." He replied nonchalantly, without looking up from the reports he was reading.
I rolled my eyes. The ceremony which was going to fall on full moon night would be my acceptance in the Crimson shadow pack and would sever my ties with my former pack. I had mixed feelings about it. I loved Lucian and was loving the pack, but giving up your past is always difficult.
"Ok, I need to go shopping, I have nothing to wear!" I declared.
"Darling, I told you it doesn't matter, it would be ripped off you anyway." He said with a glint.
"It matters to me, Lucian. We spend the entire year on the perfect wedding gown, which is worn for barely a few hours! Men will never understand this." I said frustrated.
He laughed.
"So, what do you want to do about it?"
"I need to go shopping." I declared, folding my arms.
"No, that's out of the question, you are being punished, remember?" He smirked.
"Yeah, the punishment," I replied toying with the silver collar placed around my neck. As promised to Rick. I was forbidden from venturing out of the compound, and a silver collar with a GPS tracker was placed around my neck to prevent me from shifting and making a point to the pack.
"Rain loved the collar, she thinks it's quite kinky. She has asked Damon to get a similar one for her." I grinned.
He looked up at me aghast.
"Exactly what kind of stuff you girls talk about?" He said, continuing to smile.
"Just normal girly stuff," I grinned back.
"You, are being punished, my love, it's not a fashion accessory." He joked.
"Well, you never know. It might be the next big rage in the pack. With all the females wearing a collar." I said giving him a wink.
He shoved aside his papers and prowled towards me, "Apparently, you seemed to dislike the idea of being told to stay anywhere, so it looked like a fitting penalty. But you are enjoying the punishment. Perhaps, I need to think more about the ways of punishing you, my stubborn love." He said mischievously.
"When am I being punished, my beloved Alpha? " I said, grinning, "what else would you want to do to me?"
His calm prowling turned into a mad scramble, as he picked me up unceremoniously and dumped me on the bed.
"My naughty Luna needs a good punishment; I can see that." His eyes gleamed with lust.
"Would the mighty Alpha prefer to spank me?" I asked coyly, pulling my skirt up to reveal my bare ass. He had a predatory look on his face as he removed his shirt and moved to kneel on the bed beside me. I was distracted by his perfect abs.
Grabbing me around the waist with one arm, his hand came down sharply on my ass. I jerked and fumbled around on the bed trying to escape his hand, but it was no use. I was overtaken by my need for him. Soon, I found myself soaking wet. No matter what he did, it turned me on.
"Please," I begged him to stop, though it did not come out that way. My ass felt hot and it stung everywhere. I was incredibly turned on.
He was almost panting with the exertion when he finally decided I had had enough.
"Do you mind?" I asked him, pushing my shirt off and sitting on my still stinging ass.
"No, do you?" he asked, nuzzling my neck and groping my breasts.
I felt his hands slip over my ass as he ground us together, breathing heavily in my ear.
"I can't wait for tomorrow, love," he said, grinning as he thrust harder.
I panted, though there were many pending issues. He was worried about something; I was not sure what. The brutal thrusts and my stinging created a weird combination of pleasure and pain.
As we lay spent, I asked," What does the ceremony entail?"
The so-called ceremony varied among different packs depending on their tradition. In Jade moon pack we had a turning ceremony for Linda as well because she was a human. She was turned on the full moon night, then the pack got her scent, and she was declared the Luna.
"Our ceremony is like yours; you will have to show your strength by either fighting with me or hunting for the pack. This will prove your claim as a Luna. Though, it is mostly ceremonial. Nobody is going to oppose it." He explained.
"And after that?"
"After that, we will have sex!" He said matter-of-factly.
I raised an eyebrow.
"The pack will run, have a wild party and rut in the woods. What else did you expect?" He said smiling.
